Is this about active-shooter response specifically?
It takes a broader prevention view: recognizing and defusing escalation, threats, and concerning behavior early. Physical-emergency response is one part, but the emphasis is on prevention and reporting.
How long does it take?
About 20 minutes, self-paced. It is often assigned as part of a workplace-safety refresh.
Does this apply to us if we have never had an incident?
Yes. The value is in building a reporting culture and recognition skills before anything happens, which is when prevention is actually possible.
